As one of the pioneers of drum ‘n bass in the US, Edwin Garro—known to his fans as UFO!—has established himself as one of the world’s most influential and groundbreaking artists. Producing and performing across continents for nearly two decades, UFO! is internationally renowned for his innovative style and cutting-edge music.

UFO! founded San Francisco’s premier drum and bass collective, Phunckateck Communications in 1996, performing alongside frontrunners such as Goldie, Ed Rush and Optical and Dieselboy. He released more than two dozen singles on labels such as Thermal, Position Chrome, Commercial Suicide, Green, Renegade Hardware and Phunckateck Communications.

In 1999 UFO! achieved worldwide recognition when he released Enemy Infiltration, the first ever drum and bass track to become a number one hit, paving the way for the American drum and bass movement.

In New York City, while scoring scenes in the hit television series, CSI: NY, UFO! was recruited by the world renowned MOMA PS1 to install sound and art installations and was often asked to play at the museum’s annual Warm Up outdoor art and music festival. Meanwhile, UFO! collaborated with old school junglist friend Star Eyes on a remix for “Happy Haus,” a cover of the Siouxsie and the Banshees hit.

After a decade-long journey touring and producing around the world, UFO! made his return to San Francisco and has been collaborating with San Francisco’s notorious DJ Richie Panic on releases for Designer Drugs’ label Sex Cult.

He is currently in the midst of new projects with Bro Safari of Evol Intent, Sluggo, Mayhem and Kuru, flirting with Moombahton and exploring the possibilities of 110 BPM. His latest collaboration with Bro Safari, the Future Primitive EP, gained instant recognition as a landmark EP in Moombahton, quickly ascending the bestselling charts on Beatport.

UFO! is as notorious for his stage presence as he is for his work in the studio. He is known for his unconventional and cinematic performances and is constantly pushing the limits of his creative ability. When he is not in the studio or touring, he is scoring films, fashion shoots and videos. This coming December UFO! will launch his international tour, making a highly anticipated debut in Shanghai just in time for the new year.---!!!
